I love brownies and I love peppermints .I was thinking why not combined the two.That’s exactly what did..These brownie bites are dark and sweetened with cane sugar to give it a nice molasses taste.These brownies remind me of Andes candies yummy. I also added a little cinnamon for that surprise taste and a tad of cayenne pepper for a kick.These brownies bites are frosted with vanilla frosting and sprinkled with crushed peppermints.These brownie bites are so delicious you won’t be able to eat one. Make them and you’ll see what I mean.You can make these with your kids they will have fun.
